I refer to the "reverse lettering" all the time, meaning exactly that, letters or the legend on the reverse side of the coin. Incuse lettering could also be interpreted depending on the coin and how it is used in the wording. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
